Previous: Ubuntu 11.04 on Wubi with Windows 7 - FAIL
After I removed the Wubi-installed copy of Ubuntu from the Dell laptop, there was just the one OS on the system. Yet, the boot menu continued to appear on startup, showing the now-defunct entry for Ubuntu. I discovered that Microsoft had made Windows a bit harder to use since Vista, in that there was no easy way to remove this entry from the boot menu. Msconfig was mentioned on several forums, but it doesn't appear to include a boot menu editor.
I took a chance on a downloaded product from NeoSmart Technologies called EasyBCD. It was intuitive to remove the entry from the boot menu and did no collateral damage. However, on restart the system still displayed the boot menu, now showing only one entry. When there is only one OS installed, there is no need to display the boot menu. It's just a waste of time. Haven't found a fix yet.
